April 3rd, 2020
Yes, the Covid-19 has stolen street style and the latest fashion weeks, cancelled due to the virus and transformed in digital shows and presentations, what else is left? The only true and trusted friends who never abandoned us and never leave us alone: the streaming platforms. From Netflix to Amazon Prime Video, from Apple+ to YouTube, the offer available is almost unlimited. We have selected the best stylish movies, TV series and documentaries. There's something for everyone: from Audrey Hepburn, the ultimate fashion icon, in Breakfast at Tiffany's to the naïve Andrea Sachs in The Devil Wears Prada; from the fashion victim of the 90s aka The Nanny to the rich teenagers of Gossip Girl; from the rock Marie Antoinette by Sofia Coppola to Jennifer Garner's Jenna who went from teenager to 30-year-old in one night.
Here are the 30 fashion movies and TV series to stream and feel like one of the beloved fashion icons of the world of cinema.
1. Breakfast at Tiffany’s
Audrey Hepburn dressed by Hubert de Givenchy and Edith Head. The perfect classic movie to watch when you have the paturnias and can't go out and eat a croissant at Tiffany's.
Available On: Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, Apple TV+, Hulu
2. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
It's impossible not to fall in love with Mrs Maisel and this TV show. Brilliant dialogues, fast rhythm and a delightful female character played by Rachel Brosnahan. Her colourful '50s, as costume designer Donna Zakowska explains, are designed to portray "the optimism of a woman who, in spite of everything that’s going on, still keeps on standing up and affirming her spirit".
